WAKE IT UP!!!

Did you know that Rebbie Jackson and LaToya Jackson share the same birthdays!?

Happy 75th Birthday to the LEGENDARY Rebbie Jackson and Happy 69th birthday to LaToya Jackson!!

Born May 29, 1950 in Gary, Indiana, Maureen “Rebbie” Reillette Jackson is Joseph and Katherine’s first-born child and the oldest of the singing siblings. As the oldest, she often took on the role of caretaker for her young brothers and sisters.

“I was like a second mother to my brothers and sisters,” she once said. “I helped raise them, cooked for them and made sure they were taken care of.”

In 1984, Rebbie collaborated with brother Michael, who wrote and produced the song “Centipede” for her. The song, which would be Rebbie’s only hit, rose to number 4 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and number. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100!

LaToya Jackson was born in 1956–the 5th Jackson child! Without question, LaToya Jackson is a beautiful woman. But she’ll be the first to tell you that she didn’t do a lot of dating when she was young. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, LaToya admitted that she didn’t go out with many guys due to their family being devout Jehovah’s Witnesses. She said in their faith, people dated to get married.

While she didn’t go out with many guys alone, LaToya recalls a group outing with a popular pop star who had a thing for her.

“Prince did like me, but I didn’t date him,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’ve gone roller skating. But not just with me, I think Kathy Hilton was there, my brother Michael was there, my sister was there, so it was like a group.”

In 1989, LaToya took a risk when she decided to take it off for a cover shoot in Playboy magazine. When asked to explain why she decided to sit for such a racy shoot, she said it was because it was the opposite of what anyone would expect from her.

“I like doing things that are different, that are totally opposite of me, that are daring,” she said in an interview with ‘Good Morning America.’ “I decided to take the chance and do it.”
